Working a 4-12 in Sept of 1972 in Car 77 with Dennis Phillipkowski. We were down at the Train Station waiting for the 5 o'clock traffic to clear up. A train rolling through at a pretty good clip derailed and we were like in shock at first watching the box cars come off the tracks. We just simply reported it over the car radio and and waited for it all to settle. No one was injured and no real damage done besides the boxcars themselves and the tracks. Quite a train block for a few days till it was all cleaned up. Awesome sight watching the boxcars tumble.
Those days we had no cameras and it's sad because there really is no record of the event.
